MOT Time - Will this fail the car
Hi all.
Went up to Indigo GT for a service and to get the knocking noise sorted out, and it turns out that the diff is creating the knocking and needs to be replaced. I wont be able to get the work done until early march but the MOT is up 14th feb. Will the car fail for this?
Thanks in advance

nope it wont fail on this,
why cant you have the diff sorted till march???
you can get diffs for £40 and fitting is so easy you can do it yourself in a few hours max,
if you want to come to my place i can give you a hand fitting,
(i have a jap diff here)

Thanks for his number mate, really appreciate it.
Just rang him now and he said that the diff is from a 5 speed box, im not sure if I could still use it or not?
Anybody got any adieas if it can be used on my 6 speed box? im assuming that it can't
